IS THERE ANY HOPE2
New aud Important Opinions Of Pulmo-
nary Experts!

CAN THE UNIVERSAL CONSUMPTION BE sCc-
CEssFULLY TREATED!
Dr. Borgeon, leading French doctor, has
a new treatment for consumption!
He gives an enema of carbonic acid and
sulphuretted hydrogen gases, the latter gas
carrying the former into every part OF the
throat and lungs.
This treatment too, Is directed at effects
the cause remains undisturbed.
What this cause is has been stated by per-
haps the highest pulmonary authority In tho
world. i. e., the Brompton Hospital for Con-
sumptives, in London, Eng.
This malady every year carries OIL from
one-seventh to one.fifth Of the entire popu-
lation Of England.
authority for this statement
The same or greaterproportion OF deaths
obtains in America.
Dr. Payne also says that one-half the total
number of deaths from all other causes
have seeds Of this disease in the system which
only require some irritant to Develop
Dr. Hermann Brehmer, an eminent Ger
man authority, says that consumption Is
caused by deficient nutrition OF the lungs,
by poor blood.
These authorities cannot be disputed. The
medical world recognizes them. The uric
aid is the irritant in the blood that causes
the development Of the seeds which DR..
Brehmer says lie dormant in the blood.
Every particle of blood which passes through
the lungs and heart, also goes through
the kidneys, and if they are in the least de-.
ranged they cannot rid the blood Of its kill
ing poison. The thousand little hair-llke
blocked up and diseased; and when they do
they corrupt instead of purifying the blood.
Kidney disease may exist, and yet no pain
occur in that organ, because it is deficient in
nerves of sensation.
Dip your finger in acid every day and 1t
soon testers and is destroyed. Send acid-poi-
soned blood through the lungs every second,
and they soon give way.
Ihe Brompton Hospital investigation
showed that 81 per cent. of the victims Of
consumption were afflicted with deranged
son to remain in the blood and irritate the
lungs. This uric acid is always fighting every
vital organ, and if there be any. inherent
weakness in the lungs it inevitably cause
pneumonia, cough and consumption.
The real cause Of pulmonary troubles being
so authoritatively shown to be faulty even
though unsuspected action Of the kidneys,
explains why, in order to master the dreaded
consumption, one must rid the blood OF the
uric acid irritant which inHames and burns
up the lung substance. For this purpose
there is nothing equal to that great specific,
Warmers safe cure. The remedy has now
the favor of medical men all over the world
purely on its merits We have no doubt that
If the kidneys are kept in natural action, con-
sumption and great many other diseases.
caused by uric acid, will not only be cured
but will be prevented.
When the kidney is healthy, no albumen
appears in the water, but albumen is found
in the water Of more than half of those who
die Of consumption!
This then, is the condition of things that
always precedes consumption: First, weak
ened kidneys: second, retained uric acid,
poisoning til. blood; third, the development
of disease in the lungs by the irritant acids
lassing through them. Then there is little
cough in the morning; soon thick, yellow
matter is spit up, followed by loss of flesh
and strength, with dreadful night sweats;
and when the patient goes to his school
physician for help he is put on cod liver oil,
which his stomach, weakened also by uric
aid in the blood, cannot digest. Because
there is no pain present in the kidneys,
the patient does not think they are affected,
but the kidney acid is doing its work every
minute, every hour, day and night, and by
and.by the disease of the lungs has advanced
until pus is developed, then come hemor-
rhages, and at last the CLASSY stare which de-
notes that the end is near!
A post-m0rtom examination Of such cases
shows that the terrible uric acid has conf
pletely destroyed the substance Of the lung.
It is impossible to cure lung diseases when
the blood IL OosOned with uric acid.
